MARINE CONSULTANCY
PROJECT DETAIL
A series of lifting beams were required including a modular system for bolting to the circa 90 Te hub. The remit for a lifting attachment that could…
• Be bolted directly to the casting • Allow for lifting and rotation through 90 degrees for transportation
• Allow for lifting and accurate alignment to shaft line for final installation
• Designed to DNV offshore lifting regulations and standards
OTHER RELEVANT REQUIREMENTS In addition to the hub lifting equipment the company also designed, fabricated and load tested the lifting beam and rigging spread for the Nacelle lift. Here, highly eccentric cog conditions made for a challenging design case with over 80% of the nacelle’s circa 450 Te weight being carried through one end of the lifting beam only.
Malin Marine Consultants, part of the Malin Group comprise a team of professional, multi-disciplinary engineers providing a diverse and flexible set of specialised skills. These are built on a wealth of practical experience gained through working transportation and heavy lift projects both in the office and supervising on site.
